The Manitoba road will be able to
carry wheat from Yankton to Buffalo
FOR fifteen cents per busheI. That will
give the farmers OF this section frontier
to fifteen cents per bushel more for their
wheat than they can secure without the
Manitoba. The Manitoba is building
a line OF steel steamers to run from
Duluth to Buffalo in four days and
each steamer will carry 3C00 tons. This
is what will make cheap freight rates
via the Manitoba.
A runaway lumber wagon pushed a
team of unwilling rural horses about the
streets early last evening and finally ran
them into an alley back of the Morrison,
where they got the advantage OF the
wagon and succeeded in stopping. 1t
was a spiritless, uneventful runaway and
would hardly have been an incident but
for the nervous anxiety OF the owner.
who seemed to be afraid the wagon
would climb over the horses ard iniure
them. He is yet liable to a fine
for not fastening the wheels of his
wagon to a hitehiag post when he went
into the grocery.
A reporter :nterrogated General w.
b. H. Beadle, of the school board, this
morning. with regard the possible clos
ing of the schools. General Beadle is
very much annoyed at the turn matters
have taken, as he is greatly interested
in the welfare OF the schools, which he
thinks have already been hindered by
scarlet fever in the clty. He
said that to close the schools
would do more harm than good and that
the next step the boards takes will he, in
his " words: ala the absence OF any
medical authority in the city the board
will appoint q physician who will go
with the city marshal to eny house where
the fever is reported to be, break down
the door, if necessary, and find out how
serious matters are. The people pay
no attention to this affair and they are
rushing upon a possible precipice with
g disregard which is amazing" 1t is
necessary that the board of education
knows where the fever is 80 that the
children from these families may
not be admitted into the schools and
the board wants definite information on
the subject.
